Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Raywood, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Raywood where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks.
